Here is a range of our most frequently asked questions...
WHAT SIZE DO YOUR ROLLS OF TAPE COME IN?
Our preglued melamine and thin veneers come in either 50 metre or 100 metre rolls, our thick veneers come in 50 metre rolls only due to the size and weight of the material.
Unglued melamine and thin veneers are around 500 metres
Our plastic sizes vary, 0.4mm tends to be 300m rolls, 0.8mm tends to be 150m rolls and 2mm thick tends to be 100m rolls.
CAN I HAVE A SAMPLE?
We have melamine and plastic finger samples and swatches available showing our full range of decors, without glue. These are approximately 10cm in length.
Veneer, being a natural product is subject to changes in colour due to the effects of light over time, especially in its unfinished state. As a result we do not provide swatches of veneers. There is a danger that a sample swatch, after being in circulation for a couple of years will be taken as a representation of what we can supply from stock, while some of the fingers on it will have faded considerably.
We will supply finger samples of particular veneers on request.
If your looking to match to something specific, please send us a sample to the following address; SMC Wholesale, Unit 1 Budlake Units, Budlake Road, Marsh Barton, Exeter, EX2 9PY. As it's very hard to match to a photograph.
CAN YOU SUPPLY US WITH A BESPOKE COLOUR THAT IS NOT IN YOUR STANDARD RANGE?
